These batteries get the job done. They're high quality AA batteries and you won't be disappointed. But the "MAX" is pretty much just marketing. Until I see an experiment proving otherwise, I'm gonna go ahead and assume these are the same as any other alkaline batteries, but with fancier, flashier packaging meant to draw an extra couple bucks out of you. Stick with regular Energizer alkalines.

So these headphones definitely get the job done. Sync well, good audio quality, and they look pretty neat. But as far as wireless headphones go, they fall a bit short. After all, there is very clearly a wire, however short it is. Now I understand, truly wireless headphones are still very expensive and uncommon on the market. But I've still seen better implementations. Larger on-ear headphones avoid this issue, and LG did a good job of reducing the annoyance with the behind-the-ear band design, which hides much of the wire. But I think they could do better.

Bioshock 1 was an excellent, complete package, which is why this game was a bit derided at release. Its shorter development (by another 2K studio rather than original creator Irrational Games) hinted at a sequel produced for reasons more financial than creative.
It is a bit unnecessary, but that doesn't detract from the high quality gameplay and story. The unparalleled atmosphere from the first game returns here in great form, and the new character and the perspective it lends are a great addition to the canon.
There is less to say about the gameplay, which is solid if a bit familiar, though with a few novel twists (namely your drill-related abilities).
It is hard to live up to the enthralling story of the first game--and while Bioshock 2 may not quite do so, the narrative you experience (which runs parallel to parts of the first game) is intriguing in its own, more human way. I remain intentionally vague so as not to spoil what is one of the main reasons to play.
If you enjoyed the gameplay and setting of the first, you'll have a great time with Bioshock 2.

This is a decent third-person shooter, but not much else.
If you enjoyed the Mass Effect games, there are a few parallels here to the shooting mechanics and squad-based gameplay of that series.
Don't go in expecting the tactical, strategic gameplay of the recent XCOM: Enemy Unknown, which was much more in line with the original games in the series.
Taken for what it is, it's really not a bad game-- though not particularly novel, lengthy, or beautiful.
You could do better, you could do worse.

Like all the Lowepro cases I've had experience with, this case is high-quality and durable.
This is one of the "hard shell" models as opposed to the softer plastic "sleeve" type cases.
It's definitely tough enough to brave a few bumps and falls although ideally it won't come to that.
Unfortunately, I found it to be a bit small for my slightly larger than average-sized compact camera. It wasn't a tight squeeze; it simply wouldn't fit.
If you have a smaller compact camera this is ideal as the next size up is quite a bit larger. However, you may wanna check it out at your local store to make sure it'll fit.

If you don't mind a little heft around your neck or wrist to protect your precious camera, this is the case for you.
It's got a tough shell and plenty of space inside for compact cameras, maybe even some slightly larger (e.g. micro 4/3s) models. Best to go to the store to check for yourself if your camera is on the larger side.
It is a little bulky, not heavy at all without the camera but carrying it around your neck all day may get old.
However, If you've got a nice camera or just like to take care of your electronics, that may be a small price to pay.
The trade-off was worth it for me. Recommended.
